摘要： Computer tape cassette storage units store a number or computer tape cassettes during periods of nonuse and are particularly adapted for use in an automated tape cassette archiving and retrieval system. The storage units include at least one shelf unit having a substantially horizontally disposed shelf for supporting a row of computer tape cassettes on edge. Structures are provided so as to minimize (if not eliminate) the possibility that the tape cassettes will become dislodged from the shelf units in the event of mechanical shocks and/or vibrations (e.g., which may occur in an automated system do to a robotic manipulator coming into physical contact with the storage unit). Such structure may take the form of a forward lip against which a portion of the tape cassettes abuts and/or structures which shift the centers of gravity of the tape cassettes rearwardly toward the rear wall of the shelf units upon which they are supported.

摘要： A storage media retrieval assembly (22) for moving storage media (16) within a media library (10) including a library housing (12), comprises a picker system (32), an assembly base (30), and a first sensor (240A). The picker system (32) selectively engages the storage media (16). The assembly base (30) supports the picker system (32). The assembly base (30) is movable relative to the library housing (12). The first sensor (240A) senses if the assembly base (30) is level relative to the library housing (12). Additionally, the retrieval assembly (22) can further comprise a mover (28) that is secured to the assembly base (30), the mover (28) selectively moving the assembly base (30) relative to the library housing (12). In alternative embodiments, the first sensor (240A) or a second sensor (238A) can be a home sensor that senses a home position of the mover (28) relative to the library housing (12).

摘要： Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and computer readable media to handle unsuccessful movements of removable storage media in an automated removable media system. In a particular embodiment, a method provides receiving one or more user provided parameters that indicate one or more types of unsuccessful media move operations that should be reported as successful. The method further provides receiving a first request to move a first item of removable storage media from a first position in the automated removable media system to a second position in the automated removable media system and initiating a first move operation of the first item from the first position to the second position by at least one changer device. The method then provides determining that the first move operation resulted in one of the one or more types of unsuccessful media move operations and indicating that the first move operation was successful in response to the first request.

摘要： A cartridge changer having a predetermined width across a predetermined rotational plane, includes a rack being rotatable and storing at least first and second cartridges in a predetermined rotational plane, wherein at least one distance extending across the first and second cartridges in the predetermined rotational plane and through a rotational axis of the rack is greater than the predetermined width of the cartridge changer, and a rotator for rotating the rack in the predetermined rotational plane, so as to exchange a position of the first and second cartridges within the rotational plane without exceeding the predetermined width of the cartridge changer. The rotator more specifically performs a combination of rotation and shifting of the first and second cartridges with respect to one another within the rotational plane to accomplish exchange of the first and second cartridges within the rotational plane without exceeding the predetermined width of the cartridge changer. The shifting is more specifically linear displacement of the first and second cartridges in a direction parallel to a diameter defined in the predetermined rotational plane and through the rotational axis of the rack, and wherein an amount of linear displacement of the first and second cartridges at any given point of rotation is dependent on an amount of angular displacement of the rack from a predetermined position.
